First pure Emdebian system demoed at the Linux User and Developer show,
London

April 23rd, 2004

Emdebian was at the London Linux User and Developer show in force, with the
very first 'offical, pure' emdebian system on demo.

Wookey, Philippe de Swert, Peter Naulls (also being Debian-arm), Justin Cormack,
Jon Masters and (hiding on the Debian Stand) Vince Sanders and Gavin Simpson
turned up and showed off a range of toys - mostly arm machines (about 9 of
those) and one powerpc 405 box. We even had some relatively flashy fliers,
sponsored by Mind and Aleph One.

At the meal afterwards we had another go over the issues that have come
up in disucssion and on this list and worked out satisfactory answers to
enough things to carry on developing things along the stag lines. This will
result in a wiki soon for people to list initial packages for conversion,
and also put up the long-promised docs on how to do package conversions.

It was good to meet up with the usual suspects and to get some
feedback from the real world. Particular thanks to Philippe for making the
effort to come from Belgium (making for 39-hour days), but it seems he
enjoyed himself.
